The Impact

Nanocomposite carbon coatings composed of a nanocrystalline phase and an amorphous carbon matrix (a-C or a-C:H) are an important group of coatings for tribological applications, especially if low friction is desired. Strong adhesion between the coating and the substrate as well as the ability to carry load are particularly important in ensuring the durability of the system. In this paper, the impact of a reinforcing phase in the form of hard carbides of chromium, titanium and tungsten (MeC) on the micromechanical and tribological properties of MeC/a-C coatings were analysed. The microhardness and modulus of elasticity using the indentation method and adhesion of these coatings to the substrate in scratch tests were determined. On the basis of tribological tests, the friction coefficient and wear rate of the coatings were determined during nonlubricated sliding contact with an alumina ball. The tested nanocomposite coatings showed very good sliding properties and wear resistance. The nc-WC/a-C and nc-TiC/a-C coatings exhibit the smallest coefficient of friction (below 0.1) and the highest wear resistance. The presence of nanocrystalline carbides in the amorphous carbon matrix limits the propagation of cracks in the coatings and allows the higher load carrying capacity.
